 34 Label the different parts of the skeleton.

35 Match the columns.

Joint consist of fused bones that do not

move, such as pieces of the skull.

Ball-and-socket permit bones to move back

joints and forth in one direction, such
as the elbow and knee joints.

Gliding joints allow partial rotation, such

as the neck.

Hinge joints is the place where two bones

meet.

Pivot joints can only produce movements like

bending and stretching.

Suture or fixed joints carry out a more complete rotation,

for example, your shoulder.
